I know very little about this, but by coincidence (the application
program I work on got a nice bugfix because of this) I can tell you one
kernel difference on x86_64 kernels that support NPTL.

this can be done only if you backport the features from 2.6 that were
added in order to make NPTL possible ... redhat has done this, but
really it's just a waste of time ... 2.4 is dead :P

Hi Erik,
I'm sorry but I could not understand your "Yes" very well ... so Which
one of the following assigns the resources to PCI devices?

Hello,
I've always read that although it isn't completely forbidden, but
kernel code shouldn't use floating point arithmetic. It is not
recommended, but surely looks possible.
So just for curosity purposes (and without getting into the debate of
"You shouldn't be doing this..."), can some one po

Only for scheduling. Kernel maintains thread level data structures to
enable say fast context switch,
